The Portorose Masonry Barbecue is made from quality refractory concrete with a contrasting attractive, durable Marmotech shelf running around the front and sides. Marmotech combines refractory concrete with granulated marble to form a heat resistant material that does not require final painting. The barbecue can be fired using wood or charcoal. Wood gives a unique aroma and unmistakable flavour to food, but also creates a much higher temperature. Hence the firebox and grill area are strengthened to withstand the heat produced from a log fire.
